Lenovo is reportedly working on a Mac Mini rival and the slimmest ThinkBook ever

Lenovo is developing a Mac Mini rival and the thinnest ThinkBook yet, according to exclusive images revealed at Lenovo Innovation World 2026. The compact mini PC, named ThinkCentre X Ultra, resembles Apple's Mac mini in shape, while the ThinkBook is so slim it could potentially set a new record for the thinnest Windows laptop. The X Ultra features a cube-like design, a built-in LED-lit vent grille, and a headphone jack, among other ports.

The ThinkBook's chassis is reportedly thinner than the USB-C ports themselves, with a microphone hole in a small raised pod. If Lenovo succeeds, this would be a significant milestone in thin laptop design. Meanwhile, the U.S. government is considering new semiconductor tariffs that could potentially affect laptops and gaming consoles.
